The image shows a painting of a fan with a scene on it. The fan is centered in the image and spans most of the width. The fan has a semi-circular shape with the curved side up and the straight side down. The fan's ribs are painted in light brown and darker brown. The scene on the fan shows a person, likely a boy, sitting on the ground, herding an ox. The person wears a simple tunic and sits on the left side of the fan. The ox has a long curved tail and a rope around its snout. The background of the scene on the fan shows a small hill or mound. The fan is on a beige background with a brown border. The border has a black and gold patterned strip at the top and bottom. The painting style appears to be traditional Japanese. The title of the painting, "Herd Boy with Ox", and the artist, "Kano Masanobu", are associated with the image.
